May Bunny Peterson on Food

Hm okay I don’t know if this is controversial but: IMO most dishes are not sour enough and do not have enough sauce. I frequently want to add both more sourness and more moisture/fat. Logical conclusion: most sauces could stand to have more acidity

This is one reason I love kimchi mayo because the fermentation perfectly completes the fatty sauce and allows a great flavor distribution for nearly very savory dish

Sour is not even slightly less important a flavor than salty or sweet. In a lot of dishes it can be MORE important

in addition: with regard to fermentation, mainstream American food culture is weak.
